The latest craze in town this haze season is the mask. With the PSI breaking new records everyday, everyone has been trying to get their hands on the n95 face masks.

If you can get your hands on the N95, please do, as that's what has been recommended by doctors to keep all the hazardous micro-particles out. But I guess, my home made mask is better than nothing in such dire times.

To keep out the wretched burning scent, a few drops of essential oil or perfume on the mask does wonders.
